Emily Brent: Emily Brent is an old women who is conservative. She is very religious and disapproves lounging. She was invited for the holiday by a women ho claimed to have shared a house with her years before. She supposedly killed Beatrice Taylor in 1931.
Mrs. Rodgers: Mrs Rodgers is a very good cook but always looks scared to death. She is married to Mr. Rodgers and they have not seen Mr. Owens yet even though they have been there for about a week.
Mr. Rodgers : Mr. Rodgers is the butler of the house. He and his wife have been accused of murdering Jennifer Brady in 1929, even though they deny it.
Anthony Marston: Anthony was accused of killing both John and Lucy Combes. When they ask for the story he doesn't seem to care about the fact that he did.
Mr. Justice Wargrave: The voice said that he had killed Edward Seton. When everyone hears the voice Mr. Justice Wargrave seems quite calm and tries to figure everything out.
I chose foreshadowing:
Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little Indian boys traveling in Devon; One said he’d stay there and then there were seven. Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six. Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little Indian boys going in for law, One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little Indian boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little Indian boys walking in the Zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun; On got frizzled up and then there was one. One little Indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none
here.
The ten little Indians poem is a foreshadowing because it shows how each one of them are going to die throughout the story. The bible verse that Miss Brent read is a foreshadowing because the verse is about how the wicked will perish. The story is about people who killed other people so they will die. The statement said about being at the island as a kid and is a foreshadowing because the last line says that one cant foresee the future.... is saying that something is going to happen in the future. The line about eyeing each other is a foreshadow because you don't know what it means by knew so it's a foreshadow because you will find out what they "know".
Maggie- You mention characteristics of novels, but you do not say anything about mystery novels. What makes them different? Does length make a difference?
